JOB SUMMARY:

A growing, dynamic architectural practice is seeking an Architect with 3+ years of post-qualification experience to join their talented team. Specializing in high-end, bespoke private residential projects across central London and the Home Counties, the practice offers a unique opportunity to work within a small, entrepreneurial team that values autonomy and initiative.

The team leads a talented and energetic group committed to boutique, elegant design, and they carefully select project partners from a trusted network of professionals and craftspeople. Their focus is on delivering projects of the highest caliber, with a strong commitment to timing, budget, and exceptional results.

As an end-to-end turnkey practice, they guide each vision from inception to completion, making strong client relationships and clear communication a core value. The team understands that the best outcomes come from collaboration, transparency, and respect and are all highly skilled.

Responsibilities:

Lead the design process and contribute to project development from initial sketch designs to technical delivery
Manage client relationships and communicate effectively throughout the project
Coordinate with contractors, consultants, and internal team members
Oversee the project through all phases, from design to construction, ensuring quality and attention to detail
Prepare technical drawings, schedules, and specifications, and ensure compliance with UK building regulations
Contribute to the growth and evolution of a young, ambitious practice

Ideal Candidate:

ARB/RIBA certified with 3+ years of post-qualification architectural experience
Strong design portfolio, showcasing high-end residential architecture
Proficient in MicroStation and experienced in managing small teams
Excellent technical knowledge, including construction techniques and UK building regulations
Strong problem-solving skills, with excellent attention to detail
Effective communication skills and ability to collaborate with clients and team members
Must have the right to work in the UK

This is an exciting opportunity to join a young, ambitious practice at a pivotal time in its growth. The office fosters a collaborative, supportive culture with regular team trips. You will have the responsibility to manage projects, take the lead, and be in a client-facing position.

This role is well-suited for architects who are confident, proactive, and thrive in a fast-paced environment. Candidates who enjoy taking ownership rather than being heavily guided will excel in this role, benefiting from the studio’s culture and rapid career progression opportunities.
